Dragon Ball Super Tankoubon Release Thread

[ShaneisMC]

On top of the obvious hoping they throw in the F arc, I'm also really curious as to how the spine art will look. I personally would love to see them continue the existing spine, throw in some Buu arc characters and then get to the Super characters. Of course that all being said that'd of course require the series to last long enough for the spine to incorporate all these people.

Same here! I was also wondering if VIZ releases it, will it follow the vizbigs or standard release?

[Wezenheim]

I also wonder what will come to America first: the Super manga or the anime?

-Volume 1 Cover art-

I love it! It's cool how Toyotaro keeps envolving and suprising me.
I really get Toriyama vibes ftom that cover. What a great sucessor!

I hope the manga sells a lot, because unlike the anime I don't have any problems with it.
It's just sad Toyotaro won't draw one final chapter for ROF version and put in there. It would make it perfect.

I wonder if we will get any comment or interview from Toriyama in this one, which could potentially reveal if there was any involvement from Toriyama or how close to Toriyama's Story Draft the manga is, and even Toriyama's opinion to the manga compared to the anime. I'm saying this because we did get those in the JSAT & EoB manga releases:

• From the JSAT manga adaptation, we learned that Toriyama was more involved with the manga, as he served as a supervisor & adviser for Ooishi while he only wrote a Story Draft for Toei, and he said that he preferred the manga version over the anime version, and he talked as if the 2 chapters were extra chapters of his original manga.
• From the EoB volume release, we learned that even though Toriyama oversaw the creation of the manga, it doesn't seem like he considers it part of his story, and we even learned from Ooishi that this was supposed to be a what-if story (though Shieisha doesn't seem to see it as a what-if story, since they keep mentioning its events in all of the recent timelines).

He even congratulated Ooishi in volume 1 of Dragon Ball SD, so I think there is a very good chance that we will get at least a comment from Toriyama.

Since we now know Chapter 10 is 30 pages long, it doesn't appear all the currently released chapters can fit inside the first volume.

At most, I hope Toyotaro was allowed to add more pages to give the story a more cohesive flow.

I mean, it would make sense somewhat to retool the chapters for the more prestigious Tankoubon release. Higher quality is expected from books compared to throw-away promotional material in a monthly magazine, I imagine.

[IM21]

I just hope Viz releases it, so I can have the translated version. Even if they don't, I'll still buy this manga cause it's awesome.

[sangofe]

I wonder how well the Tankoubon will sell. I'm sure it will sell pretty well, but I hope we get to see numbers somehow in the future.

I'm actually really digging that design. Man it's times like this where I wish Toyotaro would just do a full adaptation of Dragon Ball Super instead of just having bits and pieces of the actual story.

Me too.

Yea it sucks it isn't a full blown adaptation, but at least we get something! that "1" assures us there will be more! Also did anyone notice how the page count keeps jumping? Hopefully it goes weekly one day. Hopefully...

I've thought about it and while I also wish we could get these weekly, I don't mind getting them monthly if Toyotaro keeps doing a good job and has a higher page count. I just want him to cover the entire story if possible.

Well, having seen the latest chapter, it's pretty much similar to the anime...

Got mine a day early (of when I was supposed to get it) Here are some pics! I am excited to see the Jump Victory Carnival 2015 Bonus Comic

What about the interview.

[emperior]

Why does Toyotaro always draw Vegeta with shorter hair than usual?

[macho_man]

Vegeta and Polunga? Same author, I've already seen this before:

It's a Blue Dragon reference, extra drawing of DBAF volume 4.

[eledoremassis02]

What about the interview.

Here you go. I tried my best without damaging the book

He's been drawing Vegeta's design in GT for so long that I imagine it's probably ingrained in his head at this point.

[ChronoTwigger]

The design on the spine, with Goku and the spheres that compose the image, let me guess about the whole series lenght. 4 to 6 volumes. That's really a quantity of material, in term of the anime series.

[Herms]

Thanks!

It seems to be different material than the interview from the V-Jump site. The only tidbit about the future of Super (from what I can see) is:

--Finally, could you tell us just a little bit about where the story of Dragon Ball Super is heading?
Toriyama: I've got an idea for a story about the "future" of "a certain somebody". And I'm thinking of combining that together with a new "universe". It'll be simple enough for kids to enjoy...hopefully (laughs).

Toyotaro: "A certain somebody"...It's someone I'm a huge fan of! I'm really looking forward to it!!

Echoing some of the things said in the interview featured on the V-Jump site.

I thought it was somebody from the future? Not the future of somebody. Could it be any character at this point?

[TheDevilsCorpse]

They're two different interview questions with a similar answer. The word future being in quotes is an obvious hint that they're pointing at the same thing.

[ZombieVito]

I'm starting to think Toriyama means Oob. That reference in episode 30 is so random otherwise.

[Geekdom101]

Ok so how do we know FUTURE-RELATED doesn't mean the future of Super?
